Whether developing wearable computers, or building a Raman spectrometer to detect cancer in blood serum, ECE research activity is dedicated to extending the capability of electrical and computer engineering. We perform research to investigate very advanced concepts  that have potential for high payoff.

Highly Theoretical to the Very Applied
In 2002, ECE research expenditures topped $25 million. Efforts range from the highly theoretical to the very applied, and are ongoing in all of the major areas of the field today. Our 35+ research groups are focused on:

• extending the base of knowledge,

• developing and transferring technology in support of the state's and the country's industrial activity,

• providing students at all levels with exposure and experience in cutting edge pursuits in their field.

Collaborative, Supportive, & Interdisciplinary
The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is a leader in encouraging undergraduate students to participate in research efforts. Our faculty, noted for their collaborative spirit, are engaged in projects that cross disciplines, universities, and national borders. Many of our groups and centers are among the top in the world in their specialty.
